From Everything Green

Gardening requires patience; it takes time for the seed to germinate and grow. But for those who are impatient to see results, microgreens offer a faster alternative. These little seedlings are grown in small pots and harvested after two to four weeks, right when the plant bears leaves. Everything Green is the largest provider of organic microgreen seeds in Singapore, with different starter sets to kickstart your growing journey. The Microgreens Grow Bags take all the fuss out of gardening: just unseal the bag, water, sow the seeds, and get ready to enjoy the nutritious crops.
